...but I was talking about my coverage. Either way, odds are I'm
going to pay more for less coverage and higher deductibles.

And why would that be? You are making an unsupported assertion,
that costs are rising while service is not improving. What is
driving that?

Profit margin.

Profits have drastically increased in almost all health related
industries.

Bullpucky. Care to cite? (No, proclamations of Democratic lawmakers
don't count.)

Profits for the top 10 insurers went up over 400% in the last 10
years.

Health insurers profit margin is 3.3%. The only person who thinks
that is a Marxist like Bellomy.

Lets look at say 10 years, not last year - and lets look at the ways
they use to hide profits.

I am going to need a cite on this, and again -- proclamations of
politicians ain't it.


Cite - financial reports from the top 10 health insurance firms in the
USA.

If you can show you have dug that up, I will look at it. In the
meantime, I present this summary:
